Am spus acum cateva luni ca operatorii de telefonie din Europa discuta cu Apple posibilitatea oferirii tabletei iPad la pret subventiona si iata ca discutiile s-au concretizat deja pentru 2 operatori din Marea Britanie : Orange si T-Mobile care vor oferi tableta iPad la pret redus luna viitoare. Tabletele vor fi disponibile la preturi incepand de la 200£ cu incheierea unui contract pe 2 ani, deci un pret de 2 ori mai mic decat cel practicat de Apple in magazinele sale. Desigur ca tabletele vor fi in continuare decodate, insa pentru a beneficia de reducere clientul trebuie sa incheie un contract de 2 ani cu operatorul.
E foarte interesant ca Apple va lansa tableta iPad si la operatorii europeni avand in vedere ca zvonurile recente indica faptul ca, compania ar putea introduce un SIM integrat in viitorul model al tablete si ar putea marginaliza operatorii de telefonie in procesul de comercializare. In Romania nu stiu cand va ajunge tableta iPad, insa am auzit ca Samsung Galaxy Tab nu are vanzari grozave la anumiti operatori.
